Default System Monitor.

Hello,

I would like to know more about the items presented for monitoring. The
significance of the values displayed and the reliability of those values as
shown by this tool.

A pointer appreciated.

Ben.

A pretty good starting point would be the Win98 Resource Kit, Chapter 26 -
Performance Tuning and look for the section 'Tracking Performance with
System Monitor' (scroll approx 1/2 to 2/3 down the page)
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/arc...t5/wrkc26.mspx

N.B Win98 Resourse Kit is also included on the Win98 CD

Hello Mart,

Thanks for the link. You are right it is probably a good place to begin
reading. I don't think my WinME CD has the resource kit you mention and I
assume the System Monitor is the same in both OSs. Though I seem to recall
reading that the Kernel Processor Usage monitor was faulty.

Obliged to you.

Ben.

Hi Ben,

A Resource Kit was never released (produced?) for WinMe, so the Win98
version is as close as you are going to get, I guess g and at least you
can access the whole kit via the link:-
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/arc...t5/wrkc26.mspx

However, another option is to search the Knowledge Base. There are quite a
few articles relating to System Monitor, some of which *might* shed more
light. I just did a selective search and came up with some 20 items :-
http://support.microsoft.com/search/...ode=a&x=8&y=10

After that? Perhaps a good old Google might reveal more.

Hello Mart,

And a very interesting reading your first link yields - my thanks for it. As
with all reading I do courtesy Microsoft I am left with more questions than
answers to the point where I have developed a kind of resistance to the
whole notion of finally being able to come to grips with anything in any
significant manner! The desire to do so is as strong as ever it was five
years ago and that inspite of the dread. I pity the child, who lacking a
fundamental concept of the alphabet, desperately wants to read books. I have
long envied those friends whose interest in their computers is strictly
limited to 'if it works, fine'. and 'when something seems wrong get somebody
to fix it'.

The "A is for Apple" as a first step must have its counterpart in 'learning
the computer' but I have yet to discover what it is!!

Your search link, Mart, doesn't go anywhere. And it is probably a very
fundamental tool - the ability to search adequately that is. But wait a
minute what do I see minimalised below "Search The Knowledge Base" - yes the
link did work and there are the results you mentioned. But I saw no activity
in the logo - no spinning. But then I had Outlook Express full sized and
I.E. must have been working 'below' it. It appears that the Outlook Express
logo is simply decorative. System Monitor was my interest but digression is
my tendency. A running rabbit has much in common!

Thanks, Mart for getting me started. I suspect if I can begin to understand
SysMon I will have taken a large step. It is a tool, and is quite a pretty
one in its line charts format and if this thread should have been in
SysTools - my apologies.

Best wishes, Mart, you were around when I first started using these
Newsgroups in 2001. Glad to find you are still here.

Cheers.

Ben.

Ben, my apologies. I inserted an incorrect link in my last post for the
*full* Win98Res.Kit. (Finger trouble at this end!)

The correct link is:-
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/arc...t/win98rk.mspx

.... but digression is
my tendency.


On reflection, the above link won't help with that affliction g

Good luck with your SysMon quest - and keep visiting the WinMe News Groups.
As I've said several time before, we can all learn something new here,
almost every day.
